Hidden Rain

"O soul of my soul, O You who are the soul of a hundred worlds, gladly take the opportunity of seizing the cash of the present moment.
Do not withdraw your self from this river-bed, O flowing water.
But flow in order that the river-bank may laugh, and may be made to blossom by the running water, and that jasmines may rear their heads on each brim of the river.
The verdant orchard tells a tale of rain.
If it rains during the night, no one sees the rain, for then every soul and breath is asleep;
But the freshness of every beautiful rose garden is clear evidence of the rain that was hidden from view."

Rumi (Vol.6, 2719-2725)

Commentary: You can't see a lot of grace? And yet you are here, and still turning towards Love. What nourishes and sustains us remains hidden from view , as long as we are asleep. Rumi urges us to "wake up" and grab the cash that is being freely distributed by God.
